Ruth Wyman is an excellent lawyer

I hired Ruth Wyman to represent me in a case of stalking initially to obtain protection no contact order and two years later to extend it. I could not have expected anymore professional, thorough, care_full service from her and her office, both as a professional service that was meticulous in collect...ing detailed evidence and as in a professional service that was full of care about my wellbeing through this process. Her office staff was also incredible, in documenting evidence , her appearance in the court and presentation of my case, everything that happened before and during the court could not have been done any better. Ruth Wyman is a superb lawyer that I highly recommend.

Ruth will not fight for you. Only do everything she can to take as much money as she can

Ruth is a horrible attorney. Was never on time to court. She will not listen to anything you have to say and will not use any evidence in court you give her. But she will charge you for things she never did. Her office people are rude to you. You will make you feel dumb. Ruth Wyman really took adv...antage of my money and never helped my case once. I had to fire Ruth Wyman. I strongly would not recommend Ruth Wyman to anyone. All Ruth cares about is your money.
